Mui Wo to Tai Ho Wan Information


From Mui Wo Ferry Pier, walk 1.5 kilometres to the right and back of the valley and you will come to Pak Ngan Heung, with its long history. By the trail there is a Waterfall Garden. Walking up from there, you come to the Silver Mine Cave where silver was mined for over a hundred years. Higher up, the Mong To Au pavilion on the hill crest has excellent views of Silver Mine Bay, the bay named after the silver mine. From the gap at Mong To Au, the trail goes northwest downhill. You will pass some old villages, at Tai Ho Sun, Tin Liu and Ngau Kwu Long - and the trail comes to its end at Pak Mong.

Pat Ngan Heung in Mui Wo Valley on Lantau Island backs onto a thick fung shui wood. In the past, it was a common rural belief that trees are related to fung shui. For this reason, original vegetation behind villages was generally well preserved. Other flora species of domestic and economic value were often introduced to the village woods, and over time, these woodlands developed into mature forests. A fung shui wood provides both food and well needed shade. An ideal home for many wild animals, it has extremely high ecological value.
